Dear Sir.
RE: MRS MONICA EYADEMA
GREETINGS/SEEKING FOR AN ASSISTANCE
As a matter of utmost urgency I want you to come to my assistance, My name is Mrs. Monica Eyadema. The fourth and last wife of the late President of Togo Pa Gnassingbe Eyadema who died on Saturday the 5th February, 2005 after a brief illness en route to Paris France for medical attention.
Three months before his death, November 2004 to be precise, He called my attention with that of his private financial adviser and instructed us to a take a consignment belonging to him containing USD 16,000, 000.00 (Sixteen Million, United States Dollars) to Johannesburg, South Africa for safe keeping. We deposited the box with a Security & Finance Company in Johannesburg as Family artifact (Real Content Undisclosed).
On my return from Johannesburg I found out that there is a rift in our family due to the trust and love he demonstrated on me, since then there has been series of trouble regarding the money I took to South Africa. The reason why I am contacting you is that due to the latest development in my country where they manipulated and installed the son of the first wife Mr. Faure Gnassingbe as the current President to annoyance of the EU, AU, ECOWAS and the UNITED NATION. I left my country Togo with my last son on the eve of his instalment knowing that he will use his power to collect the document relating to this fund in South Africa. I am writing to you to invite you to Johannesburg, South Africa to help me transfer this fund to your country for safekeeping and investment.
I have contacted a Financial Adviser here in Johannesburg whom who are presently staying in his guest house, he will assist you through the whole process and to make a change of ownership with the company as I would not want the money to be transferred through my name due to the present situation. If this letter interest you please do contact me or my son as soon as possible on the above email address though it is subject to change for our security, also do furnish us with your private fax/telephone numbers.
Your co-operation will be highly appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Monica Eyadema
